HOTELS
VIRGIN AUSTRALIA MARCH 2016
Inner Calm
The best hoteliers create beautifully serene indoor
spaces that soothe and delight in equal measure.
MIAMI BEACH, US
Miami Beach Edition
In the 1970s, Ian
Schrager co-founded
the most famous
nightclub in history,
Studio 54. In the 1980s,
he became a hotelier,
overseeing properties
that were every bit as
intimate and exclusive
as his club. His new hotel
brand, Edition, takes
the boutique glamour
Schrager is known
for and supersizes it.
Visitors will find many
of his trademarks at
the 294-room Miami
Beach Edition — flowing
white curtains in the
guestrooms, gold pillars
in the common areas
and moody lighting
in the clubby bar spaces
— but the property
is less ornate than many
of Schrager’s projects.
This is relatable
luxury aimed at a new
generation of high-fliers.

ROME, ITALY
J.K. Place Roma
Italian interior designer
Michele Bönan has
compared the projects
he undertakes with film
scripts, each with its
own plot and narrative.
So it’s no surprise that
his hotels are imbued
with an epic, widescreen
quality. Bönan borrows
from 19th-century
European aesthetics, but
he also references local
environments so each
property feels distinctive.
At this Rome hotel,
he was inspired by the
Fascist architecture of
nearby Piazza Augusto
Imperatore and avant-
garde artwork from the
1950s. Via di Monte

JAIPUR, INDIA
Suján Rajmahal
Palace
When Rajasthan’s
royal family decided
that the palace they
operated as a hotel was
in need of a revamp,
they gave interior-
design upstart Adil
Ahmad free rein. Ahmad
delved into the royal
archives, appropriating
ancient symbols and
commandeering original
artwork and pieces of
Art Deco furniture. The
result is as opulent as any
grand hotel you’ll see in
India, but it feels modern
and glamorous, too. Since
it reopened in 2014,
the property has been
hailed as a blueprint for
what 21st-century Indian
luxury might look like.
